From This Moment

“Sure we are. What time shall we start getting ready?”

“I’ll kick Cade out of the bedroom around six thirty, so come up then, and don’t forget the dress.”

“Oh don’t worry, I won’t.”

“What dress?”

“You’ll have to wait until tonight, Jake.” I pour a cup of coffee. Cade’s eyes are still on me so I blow him a kiss.

“Oh God, are you two going to do kissy face all morning?” Jake asks, going over to plant a hot looking kiss on Elise.

“We already did that. Didn’t we, Cade?”

“Answering a question like that always gets me in trouble. I’m saying nothing.”

“How’s your hip, Rona?” Jake asks, changing the subject.

“It’s as good as new. There’s still faint bruising, but no pain anymore unless, of course, I catch it on something.”

“That’s good,” Elise comments.

“How did everything go yesterday down at the Sheriff’s office?” Jake asks.

“It went okay. They’re moving Nick to a different location today, but hopefully he won’t be able to get out anytime soon,” I inform them both.

“Yes, and lover boy is going as well.” Cade smirks.

“Oh, honey. I’m in love with you, you know? That doesn’t change with the weather.” I reach up and kiss him.

“Lover boy?” Jake questions.

Elise snickers. “Josh has the hots for Rona.”

Jake looks stunned. “Since when?” he asks.

“Since he first met her,” Cade replies.

“Yes, but I made it clear it’s only Cade I want so can we change the subject now. Please?”

He laughs at me. “All right, sweetheart.” He finishes by kissing me on the head.

“Jake, after breakfast, could you give me a hand to attach the sleigh to Bonnie and Clyde?”

“Yeah. Sure, Dad.”

“Who’s Bonnie and Clyde?” I’ve never heard them mentioned before.

“Horses. As hot as you look, you’ll have to get changed after breakfast, because I’m taking you on a sleigh ride.”

I’m all excited now for a different reason. “Seriously?” I run to him and throw my arms around his neck and as he catches me, I say, “Thank you,” before sealing our lips together.

He grins. “You’re welcome.”

“Let’s get breakfast done.”

Cade

Sitting next to Rona while eating breakfast is really testing my restraint. Every time she moves, her skirt creeps further up her thighs. An inch higher and Jake is going to get an eye full!
